LttntnIRxdIanh1 o ■S June 24,2003 Mr.Tom Bartlett 24601 Mendocino Ct. Laguna Hills,CA 92653 Ms.Bonnie Marthinsen 23159 W.State Ifighway 176 Mundelein IL 60060 The Planning Commission discussed/the issue of splits on the Bartlett with Tom Martinsen at the June 2003 Planning Commission meeting. That discussion showed that we had missed several issues regarding the status of the land as of 1978. This letter will use the reference numbers in the attached map and spreadsheet provided by Tom Marthinsen at the June 2003 Planning Commission meeting. The spreadsheet shows 432.783 acres. To that list of parcels we need to add the 37.5-acre parcel to the north and east of Bass Lake Road,making the 1978 total 470.283 acres. Two of the parcels on that list were not part of the farm in 1978. Parcel 11,consisting of 12 acres,was at that owned by J.Stollen. Parcel#16 was a 2.27-acre parcel with a house,and not contiguous to the rest of the farm(separated by the road),so it is a separate parcel,not needing to be split off. Thus,the total acreage in the farm as of 1978 was then Total from above 470.283 acres Minus#11 (J. Stolen), - 12 acres Ivfmus#16 -2.27 acres Total Farm 456.013 acres eligible for splits as of 1978 Divided by 35 13 splits Resulting in 14 buildable parcels. Parcel#11 above qualifies under the Rutland land use plan as substandard parcel,making it eligible for one split,or two building parcels. Parcel#16 has a house,was not large enough to be split and was already a separate parcel in 1978. These 14+acres are outside the farm and therefore not reflected in any of the computations below. This leaves the computation of splits on the remaining 456 acres. There are other considerations that go into determining whether or not a split is allowed,but this letter will concentrate on determining the number of splits allowed. According to the plan,farmland should be entitled to one split for each full 35 acres owned of 1978. Since the Stockholm farm was 456 acres at that time,the number of splits is 13,resulting in 14 total building parcels. The 35-acre rule determines only the maximum number of building parcels that can be created,not the size of those parcels. In fact,the Town prefers to keep the housing parcels small(2 acre size)and have the remaining farm land stay with the last building 4177 ad Stage Road• Brooklyn, WI 53521 608-455-3925 • Fax: 608-455-2623
